They crossed over into the light

[mfrey]

Has anyone else heard? The brothers from the north bay...the ones that have been raised with flats...have crossed over into the light and debuted a hydro at Phoenix???? They are believers now.

I cried all night after I saw it.
Dam shame to throw away a perfectly good flat bottom driver like that.

The first time they take the boat out it runs in the 8's. Those guys did a great job getting that thing together.

[bigheavyd2]

No they just want to go FAST, instead of just kinda fast!!!!!!!!

Considering we only had two weeks to get the boat ready, the weekend was a success. We would have liked to go a few rounds, but fell a little short ET wise with the prop, gears, and tranny that we had. Our best pass ended up being 8.19 at 142. After driving only a flat my entire life, I assumed the hydro would be much easier to drive. I was completely WRONG. I feel much more comfortable in my canyon. The sensation on the big end is much more wild in the hydro.

Most hydro guys I know have never driven a flat, but the flat guys have driven hydros and they're still driving a flat for a reason.

Driving the flat is definately a wilder ride. That 2nd pix that Fiat posted says it all about the ride of a Flatty. What a rush!

[Fiat48]

Nice ride. The right attitude, clean sides...lookin great.
